• Satellite Pro A100 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hi, I have a Satellite Pro A100 with a FUJITSU MHV206OBH HD, he has been faithful and worked for at least three consecutive years, now my HD is filled with data from software etc. etc. I just changed the memory and upgraded to 2 Gygs and really the A100 is now as fast as my Dell XPS. I love my Satellite and want to install a new larger drive,
  Has anyone in the forum upgraded to a larger HD, advice, any recommendation of HD, where can I find the service manual for this.

  Best regards

  Thor Hedderich

  Hello

  In General, all satellites/Satellite Pro should have SATA hard drives and upgrade is not problematic. You can do this alone.
  If your laptop's 60 GB HARD drive only you can improve even with 120 GB or 160 GB.
  These hard drives are so cheap.

  Is that enough for you?
  Replacement is easy to do and you don't need manuals.

  The low side is set with a cover of HARD drive screw. On the disc lid HARD is placed also for computer laptop (one of the 4).
  -Remove the HARD drive cover
  -Remove the HARD drive pack by pulling on the cushion of the battery, following the direction of the arrows
  -Place the pack HARD drive on a flat surface (such as a desk) and remove the two cushions

  I guess you know now how to put a new.

• Satellite A100 - hard drive data recovery

  Hello

  I recently tried to help a friend for his Toshiba Satellite A100 data recovery, died on this screen.
  I thought this would be a task simply remove the hard drive and put a HARD drive caddy and attaching it to another computer.

  This doesn't seem to work.
  Can I put the hard drive in the computer and I can hear start the computer to the top and was able to see it with a LCD display. I was able to delete the data in this way, so we're safe.

  My question is why do we seem to remove the disc and see on another computer?
  I guess it must be an interface or format the laptop can be used for the recovery section and cannot therefore be seen as a normal drive.

  If I could not delete the data because say the motherboard is dead. Is it possible to be able to see the data on another computer.

  > My question is why do we seem to remove the disc and see on another computer?

  Of course you can do if you want to use a symbol external USB SATA controller (external HARD drive) you should be able to connect to another computer.
  But if the HARD drive is faulty, it will not work.

• Satellite A30 hard drive upgrade

  Hello

  I would like to know if there is a panel that is easy to open to upgrade the hard drive?

  If not, then how to open Notepad in order to improve memory?

  MUCHAS gracias...

  Hi Omar,.

  Your hard drive is in the DVD-ROM on the bottom of your A30. To access it, you need to remove the DVD-ROM first by unscrewing the screws marked F5 on the bottom of your device. The DVD-ROM will then slide toward the front of your A30.

  With the DVD - ROM removed the hard drive will be visible fixed by four screws Phillips. Remove these screws and gently slide the hard drive toward the front of the laptop to free the pins is connecting.

  To upgrade the memeory that you will need to remove the small cover on the bottom of the laptop (held in by two small screws. We then see the RAM modules. The details on how to remove/replace the in your online user manual.

• Satellite L300 - hard drive upgrade

  Hey guys,.

  I had a quick search, but I'm sorry if this has already been asked and answered successfully... But anyway.

  My girlfriend has easily filled its 120 GB hard drive and wants to expand. I see that it can be improved in two other sizes (including the 360 GB), but which is the maximum? I am able to get a hard drive say 500 GB/1 TB in size?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Satellite L300 supports SATA HDDs and this means that there is no capacity limit. So, you can also install disk 500 GB or 1 TB, which should be no problem.

  Interface SATA has no capacity limits older IDE interface so Don t worry about the size. Just buy a model that you think that it s ok. It is only important that it s 2.5 HARD drive with SATA interface.

  In addition, the Exchange is described here:

• Satellite 4030cdt - HARD drive upgrade

  I want to upgrade the 4.3 GB to 10 GB + are there problems or limits

  Hello

  Have unfortunately not find specific info, but I'm sure you can use 6 or even 10 GB HARD drive. If you want to be sure to contact the Service partner in your country or research on the net some supplier of HARD drive. They have this kind of information.

  Good luck!

• Satellite L40 - HARD drive upgrade

  So, I have a Toshiba MK8037GSX in a Toshiba L40 laptop.
  I would like to be updated on the drive hard Toshiba MK2552GSX.

  My question is if I have compatibility problems...
  The older MK8037GSX ATA-7, while MK2552GSX, is ATA - 8. No problem with that?

  Should I do anything else in addition to taking on the old hdd and put it in the new?
  It will interfere with the big cable that connects to the hard drive, I have to change it?

  Hello

  No, you should not get problems using ATA-8 HARD drive.
  The point is that the SATA controller is down.
  Means that you can use SATA I and SATA II HDD without any big problems

  > Will I have to do any other thing in addition to taking on the old hdd and put it in the new?
  No, after the HARD drive has been connected to the laptop, go into the BIOS and check if it s is recognized correctly. The new installation of the operating system should not be a problem as well. The installation disc must format the HARD drive and you could install the operating system.

• Satellite A50-111 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello!

  I need to upgrade hard drive of my laptop because it is very slow. However, I know it's a 60 GB to factory-installed 4200 RPM.
  I'm ready to be upgraded to a fast 7200 RPM, if possible, with a decent capacity, but I'm not sure of the supported hard drive type (IDE?, 2.5?) is a model of 5 years. In my view, there are incompatibilities with the laptops today, hard drive formats, so I really need help.
  Thank you very much for your help!

  These are the specs on the site
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 97598

  Hey Buddy,

  In my opinion the HARD drive upgrade will not increase performance well then you should try the other options first as reinstalling Windows, or upgrade the RAM.

  Anyway, Satellite A50 use IDE interface, so you can use hard disks of 120 GB of disk space.
  Of course, you can take a model at 7200 RPM, but they need more energy and produce more noise.
  I recommend a 120 GB 5400 RPM model. That s pretty fast!

• Satellite A40-151 Possible HARD drive upgrade

  Hello

  are there restrictions on the type of hard drive that you can on this model?

  RPM
  buffer
  Number of PINS
  Type of the ATA

  I was watching a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 ST980815A, if this helps answer the question.

  Concerning

  Lee

  Hello

  I found the info your device comes with 40 GB IDE (ATA - 5) HARD drive. I think in your case, to capacity. High-capacity hard drives are not recognized properly, but I think that with 60 or 80 GB HDD should perhaps be recognized correctly.

  If anyone on this forum can give you accurate information, I recommend you contact your local dealer or service in your country. They are experts upgrade material and they have accurate info on HARD drive upgrade.

  Good luck!

• Update on Satellite L850 HARD drive

  Hello

  I bought Toshiba Satellite L850-A846 already for several months and my hard is completely filled
  and the cause of the nature of my work, I can't buy an external hard

  So I wonder if I can replace my hard intern (640g) with (2 t)
  I don't know my motherboard type and if it is compatible or not?

  Also, I want to know if I can do it. Will this void my warranty license?

  My number if you want to:
  PSKDLV

  Problem is that Toshiba doesn't provide any update list where you can find a list of compatible parts that can be improved.
  Still, HARD drive upgrade can be done by the owner for s (described in the manuals) laptop and it will not void phone warranty s.

  To find out what drives and what capacity max can be problematic.
  You can just hope that someone here has any experience with this and will issue a brief report.
  Otherwise, you can try to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Maybe they can help you with all this.

• HP 6470 b 2nd hard drive upgrade. How fast this port works on? SATA I, II or III

  HP 6470 b 2nd hard drive upgrade. How fast this port works on? SATA I, II or III

  I want to put in a 60 GB SSD into the CD slot and want to see how fast it will support as this will be used for the Cache

  Thank you

  The published information is not explicit; He says only: SATA for the expansion Bay while the main hard drive Bay expressly says SATA-III. However, given that this isn't just an optical drive Bay, but also a general 'Bay expansion', it is safe to assume it of on the same SATA bus as main drive and is a SATA III interface.

  Data sheet

  6470b is also supposed to have a slot for a WSSD mSATA, but he is not described in the Manual:

  Manual

  Obviously the WSSD would work better for cache but you can use a 60 gig SSD in an expansion bay for both cache adapter. Even if the connection is SATA-II, it will be much faster to work for a cache of acceleration.

• Vostro 420 maximum size of hard drive upgrade?

  What is the maximum size of hard drive upgrade that works with the Vostro 420?

  FYI: I am considering adding a Western Digital Caviar Black WD2002FAEX 2 to 7200 tr / MIN 64 MB Cache SATA 6.0 GB/s 3.5 "internal hard drive
  (The 6.0 GB/s should adjust downwards to the Vostro 420 3.0 Gb/s, it's the limitations of maximum size, I need.)

• Satellite A100 - memory and hard drive upgrade

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Satellite A100-158 of the model code PSAA9E-01700VPT. It came with a 80 GB HDD at 5400 RPM S.M.A.R.T. and 1 GB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz).

  I think that my computer slows to a crawl because maybe I thought the hard drive being old and low memory for recent programs and therefore upgrade the hard drive and memory.

  A Western Digital Scorpio Black 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB 2.5 inch would fit? According to them, it's running at 7200 RPM with the energy consumption of a drive 5400 RPM (marketing simply bad maybe).

  And a memory card Kingston 2 GB DDR2 800 MHz working? It has a higher frequency than my current ram, but then I guess he can withdraw maximum permitted by the motherboard? I guess that's 533 Mhz as my module memory factory. I can also buy a module 2 GB of the same manufacturer exact DDR 2 as well but 667 MHz instead... still higher than my current memory module.

  Thanks much for the tips... I hope that this will bring my A100 more in standards without going to a new laptop :)

  Hello

  Generally, a HARD drive with more RPM isn't a problem, but he needs a little more power and product more heat, but it should work.
  It s based on your application that you are running. For normal use, 5400 RPM should be ok.

  The modules of RAM with higher specifications are also no problem because it s downgrade compatible for lower speed (533 MHz).
  Kingston is always recommendable, I've never had a problem with these modules. :)
